Lifetime Fitness

NEXT WEEK’S CLASS LOWDOWN 👊

My recovery from surgery has been a slower process than I’d hoped.

In order to get back to work at my best, I need to give myself another week off to concentrate on resting, recovering and getting some more mobility back into my leg.

So, Grace is stepping up again and leading the Hybrid Strength classes this week, and I’ll be there Wednesday night for Iron Rounds. 🥊

MONDAY
Hybrid Strength – LEGS
Coach: Grace

WEDNESDAY
Hybrid Strength – UPPER
Coach: Grace

WEDNESDAY EVENING
IRON ROUNDS
Coach: Me 🥊

FRIDAY
Hybrid Strength – BATTLEGROUNDS
Coach: Grace 🔥

A massive thank you as well for the interest in the Remote 1-to-1 Training & Programming while I’m off.

Workouts have already started going out, with the remaining programmes being sent tomorrow morning.

If you’re interested in getting some remote training or programming sorted for this week while I’m recovering, drop me a message.

Another week of being sensible for me… another big week of training for you lot.

Grace has got you covered.
I’ll see you at Iron Rounds. 👊

THE STORY SO FAR…

2024.
I had an idea.

I felt like I had unfinished business after retiring from coaching too early. The plan was simple, train a few people, see where it went and enjoy coaching again.

One charity event followed, then onto helping a local football team achieve a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Holland.

2025.
Classes filled, PT gathered pace and I expanded what I delivered.

We held two big charity events and somewhere along the way, something special happened…

A little fitness community had formed.

People weren’t just turning up to train. They were turning up for each other.

I even attended my first suited and booted event representing Lifetime Fitness.

2026.
Bigger plans. Bigger focus.

At the 2025 Sunflowers Ball I took on a Celebrity Bear Challenge and came away with Robert, and a goal to see just how far we could take this.

Could I sell some ambitious ideas?

Would the team buy into them?

Could a small fitness business run by one person actually pull them off?

Well…

NO QUIT 24
THE RECKONING — FACE THE FIRE
FAMILY FUN DAY
THE IMPOSSIBLE MILE
THE FINAL FIGHT

And still to come…

HYBRID STRENGTH — THE FINAL PUSH.

Robert has been there every step of the way, helping us spread the word about the incredible work Sunflowers do while we’ve raised an amazing amount of money.

And last night, we officially joined The Sunflowers Squad.

So meet Elsie. 🐘

Her fundraising journey will be very different to Robert’s, and I can’t wait for you to see what she’ll be overseeing in 2027…

Last night I also received an award.

I’m incredibly grateful, but I’ll leave it with this:

“One person can lead the way.
It takes a team to make it mean something.”

And this team has made it mean more than I ever imagined.

The story isn’t finished yet.

🌻 SUNFLOWERS ANNUAL BALL 🌻

Last night, myself and some of the team had the pleasure of attending the Sunflowers Children’s Action Group Annual Ball.

After everything we’ve done together this year to raise money for Sunflowers, it was brilliant to swap the training kit, burpees and ridiculous challenges for something a little smarter for the night! 😂

But more importantly, it was a chance to see and hear more about the incredible work Sunflowers do and exactly why we choose to get behind them every year.

Every event we’ve put on, every early start, every mile, every rep, every person who has taken part and every single donation has been for a reason.

And nights like last night really bring that home. 🌻

I’m incredibly proud of what our little fitness community has achieved together. What started as some pretty ambitious ideas at the beginning of the year turned into something much bigger than I ever expected.

It was great to have some of the team there last night representing everyone who has played a part in it.

A massive thank you to Sunflowers for having us and for putting on a fantastic evening.

We might have spent most of this year sweating together…

Last night we finally got to have a drink together. 😂🍻

Proud of this team.
Proud of what we’ve achieved.
And proud to continue supporting Sunflowers. 🌻🖤

🔥 THE FINAL PUSH — ROAD TO £4,000 🔥

We’re not quite finished yet…

After an incredible year of events, challenges, miles, reps and some seriously tough sessions, we’re now within touching distance of £4,000 raised for The Sunflowers Children’s Action Group.

So we’re giving it ONE FINAL PUSH.

REMOTE 1-TO-1 💪

Right guys, a little update from me…

I genuinely thought I’d be back coaching properly next week, but after the operation and everything that’s happened since, I’ve made the decision to give myself another week to recover properly.

I could rush back, but realistically that’s not going to do me any favours long term.

That being said… sitting around doing absolutely nothing isn’t really my thing.

So for next week I’m offering REMOTE 1-TO-1 COACHING.

If you already PT with me, I’ll write your sessions exactly as I would if you were coming in to train with me. Same goals, same progression and probably the same horrible finishers, you’ll just have to do the work without me standing over you!

REMOTE 1-TO-1

1 session — £20
2 sessions — £38
3 sessions — £55

Every session will be written specifically for you, based on what we’ve already been working towards, with exercises, sets, reps, rest periods and everything you need.

I’ll still be on the other end of the phone for questions, changes and feedback too.

And for anyone who wants a little more structure, I’m also offering:

FULL WEEK’S PROGRAMMING — £60

Your complete training week written around your goals, ability, training days and equipment.

No generic plans.
No copy and paste.
Your training, programmed for you.

It’s not quite how I planned the last couple of weeks, but I’d rather take another week now, recover properly and come back ready to go.

I might not be able to stand next to you and make you suffer just yet…

But I can definitely still do it remotely.

Drop me a message if you want your sessions sorting for next week.

YOUR TRAINING.
MY COACHING.

📣 NEXT WEEK’S CLASS LOWDOWN

Grace is officially in charge for the week.👊

Following surgery yesterday, I’m forcing myself to take a full week away from coaching and actually give myself some time to recover.

But classes are running as normal, and this little legend is taking the reins!

She knows the classes, she knows how we do things and, unfortunately for you lot… she knows exactly how hard I expect you to work. 😂

Here’s what she’s got lined up:

💪 MONDAY — 6AM — HYBRID STRENGTH: UPPER
Starting the week with upper-body strength.

🦵 WEDNESDAY — 6AM — HYBRID STRENGTH: LEGS
Midweek leg day. Expect to know about it.

🥊 WEDNESDAY — 7:15PM — IRON ROUNDS
Gloves on. Music up. Get to work.

⚔️ FRIDAY — 6AM — BATTLEGROUNDS
Finishing the week with the usual Friday morning madness.

A massive thank you to Grace for stepping up and taking charge while I’m recovering.
And thank you for all the messages wishing me a quick recovery 👊🏻💪🏻🖤

Same classes. Same atmosphere. Same graft.

Get yourselves booked in, turn up, work hard and give Grace the same energy you bring every week.

Grace… they’re all yours. 😂👊

BIG NEWS FOR 2027 💙

We’re incredibly excited to announce that Lifetime Fitness will be collaborating with Andy’s Man Club for our 2027 events.

Over the last few years, our events have become about far more than just fitness.

They’re about bringing people together.
Pushing through difficult moments.
Having the person next to you when things get tough.
And showing people that they don’t have to face everything alone.

That’s why working alongside Andy’s Man Club feels like such a natural fit.

Their message is simple but incredibly important:

👌

In 2027, as we take our events bigger and continue building something special, we’ll also be using our platform to help raise awareness around men’s mental health and the support that’s available.

Some of the challenges we’ve got planned for next year will test people physically and mentally, but behind every event will be a much bigger message.

Strength isn’t always about how much you can lift.

Sometimes strength is turning up.
Sometimes it’s asking for help.
Sometimes it’s talking when you’d normally stay quiet.
And sometimes it’s simply knowing that someone else is there.

We’re proud to have Andy’s Man Club involved in what we’re building for 2027.

Big events.
Bigger purpose.

More details coming soon.

SUMMIT SERIES #1 — COMPLETE ⛰️🥾

And just like that… the first Summit Series is in the books.

This morning was exactly what I wanted this series to be about.

No stopwatches.
No reps.
No competition.
No pressure.

Just a group of people getting outside, moving, talking, laughing and enjoying a few miles together.

After everything we’ve thrown ourselves at this year, the early mornings, brutal workouts, challenges and events, sometimes fitness doesn’t need to be complicated.

Sometimes it’s just about putting your boots on and getting out there.

The Summit Series was created to bring people together away from the gym. It doesn’t matter how fit you are, how fast you are, or whether you’ve ever done anything like this before.

You just turn up and walk.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us at Croxby this morning and made Summit Series No.1 what it was.

Great company.
Fresh air.
Plenty of laughs.

And the first one is officially done. ✅

SUMMIT SERIES #1 ⛰️
CROXBY — COMPLETE.

Now we start thinking about where No.2 takes us… 👀🥾

For runners, lifters, beginners… and anyone who just wants to get outside and move.
